An inclusive, queer-centric 19+ event for pet players and the curious with classes, socializing, activities, and play!
Get your tails wagging and fill those treat bags for a day of puppy play! The vibe is “dog park, learning, and tea” - if you’ve ever wondered if the human pup life is for you, or if you’re already into it and want to sink deeper into your headspace, this is your time to explore.
We’ll begin with two classes designed to help you understand and express your inner pup or Handler. Then you’ll get to try out what you learned with an open romp area for play and activities like “Trainer Says” and an obstacle course to inspire your inner animal!
Expect a large matted area alongside tea, snacks, and cocktails for purchase as you watch classes and socialize. There will be plenty of seating for lounging, too!
All human pets and Handlers are welcome, but please attend with respect that this space is queer and trans/gnc-centric.
If you identify as Trans/GNC or BIPOC and are in need of financial assistance to attend, please contact us at wileyxwolfe@protonmail.com or emckeown737@gmail.com; or alternatively @quemu73 on Instagram for a discount code!

CLASSES
“Finding Your Pup or Handler Identity” with Wiley WolfeCurious about pup play but don’t know where you fit? Want to better understand your persona? This class is designed to help you navigate the basics and find what best fits you. We’ll discuss pup play terms, common archetypes, how to tune into your headspace, subverting (or queering) expectations, and more! You don’t need expensive gear or a partner to start exploring.“Speak! Picking Your Personal Pup Voice” with Ellie McKeown
Are you just exploring pup play for the first time? Have you been a pup for awhile but don't have a good idea about how to vocalize? This class will explore how your barks, whines and growls actually work, as well as how you can find your own voice as a petplayer. You'll learn about the different things that other petplayers use their vocalizations to communicate, the systems that let that communication happen, and ways they interact with who you are so you can express yourself as a human pet in a way that feels distinctly you!
